Our new normal

In October our lives changed forever when Benji was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This is a kid who from day 1 has had challenges and set backs, but took on this new challenge head on. There were tears, there were “I wish I didn’t have diabetes” moments, but 2 months on he’s handling it like a champ.

T1D is forever. It’s multiple finger pricks, multiple injections, multiple LOWS or HIGHS, every day. It’s counting carbs. It’s watching his blood glucose levels. It’s having glucose monitors attached and replaced every 15 days. It’s the constant self doubt that you’re doing it wrong. It’s an autoimmune disease that makes you feel like crap at any moment.

It’s just hard, and it’s heartbreaking knowing this is our lives now, HIS life now.

So we’re walking and raising vital funds for T1D so one day someone else’s little Benji doesn’t have to go through what we’ve been through.

Join our team

to help support Benji and to help raise vital funds for Type 1 diabetes research

I'm walking for a world without type 1 diabetes in Sydney!

I'm joining the world's largest type 1 diabetes (T1D) fundraising event for families at Rhodes Foreshore Park this March!

Why? To help raise $1.1 million for life-changing T1D research, and ultimately turn type 1 into type NONE.

T1D can strike anyone at any time, and 8 Australians are diagnosed every day. Diagnosis means a 24/7 fight with no break, and facing an extra 180 decisions a day to remain safe and healthy.

Please support my walk today.
